Who's included in the player voucher?
Who do you have in mind (or maybe its for yourself)? A guitarist, pianist, singer songwriter, a duo or a trio of musicians and/or singers? - even a violinist, trombonist or rock drummer? The player experience caters for any *combination of one to three instrumentalists and/or singers doing-there-stuff while we capture them using our state-of-the-art recording equipment and highly experienced sound recordist and producer.
We'll enhance your music
Your producer for this player experience also doubles as a session drummer and bass player, so if you need to enhance your song with some seriously good live musicianship behind you, look no further than the Player voucher.
The recording studio experience day
On arrival all guests will be shown around the recording studio by the engineer and producer. refreshments are available throughout the session. Souvenir CD's require a photograph in order the prepare the CD artwork. The recipient(s) of the voucher then set up any equipment and discuss there exact requirements with the engineer and producer. Perhaps a backing track is needed to set the music alive - we have an in-house drummer, bass player, and keyboardist to help out. If it's just a case of miking up the instruments and recording then that's fine.
Equipment
We have some of the best equipment in the recording world including the legendary Neumann vocal mic. Also guitars, basses, three virtual grand piano's, Hammond, Rhodes, synthesizers, amps, Yamaha maple custom drums - even the very latest electronic drum kit for triggering our hi-tech drum samples. Professional sound equipment is used to record all performances right through to the end stage. Our aim is to exceed the artists expectations while in the calming and relaxed environment of our recording studio. After all we hope they'll catch the bug and come back again to further their recording career!
Song publishing on the studio web site
As part of the Player experience, providing the recorded performance is original (not a cover of an existing song), we will publish it on our recording studio internet site www.audiosorcery.co.uk With over 5000 hits a day to the studio web site, your song will receive high exposure for all to download and listen. You can even view the amount of hits your song gets, and share your own e-mail address and web site URL for further promotion of your material and abilities. We’ll also include an article on our news page complete with a picture of the recording artist in action.
Watch the performance
An optional extra available with the Player experience here at Gift Daze is a real-time DVD of the live room camera feed complete with a stereo sound mix of the music, singing and producers comments as they happen. The video is completely unedited capturing moments of the performer(s) in (and out) of action - very entertaining "big brother" style viewing.
* Although we are very prepared to add a good quality rhythm track if needed for your player experience, please note that we cannot accommodate a group that includes a drummer within a "player" four hour session as a drum kit takes too much time to set up, mic up and sound check . Please see the Band experience. |
